2026 State of the Union

A new Fox News national poll finds voters increasingly sour on the economy and Congress—only 30% rate the national economy positively, majorities report higher grocery, utility, health care and housing costs, 57% say their personal finances are worse, and 50% name cost of living as the top issue. The poll shows President Trump with 43% approval and 57% disapproval while congressional Democrats hit a record‑high 70% disapproval (64% for congressional Republicans), a pattern echoed by other recent surveys showing Trump’s approval in the low‑40s amid growing concern about the country’s direction and weakening confidence in checks and balances.
